Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 16, 1991 B13

Musical runs out
of touring funds

The board of directors of
Gryphon Theatre of Barrie, Ontario
has sadly announced the cancella-
tion of Gordon Pinsent’s "A GIFT
TO LAST - THE MUSICAL"
which was to debut at the R.E.M.
Lee Theatre on Friday, Feb. 8.

Terrace & District Arts Council
president Barb Kenney reported on
Monday that Gryphon Theatre has
cancelled their Canadian tour from
Thunder Bay to Prince Rupert,
citing lack of funds as the reason.

"A GIFT TO LAST - THE
MUSICAL" began their Canadian
tour, sponsored by the Canada
Council Touring Section and Radio
Shack, with five weeks of engage-
ments throughout Ontario. "A
GIFT TO LAST - THE MUSI-
CAL" received highest praise from
audiences and critics in perfor-

mances in every community. In
Terrace, it was being co-sponsored

by the Terrace & District Arts
Council and the Terrace Concert
Society.

Gryphon’s board of directors
report that all their funds were
spent during their Ontario tour and
they have no other resources with
which to fulfill their contractual
obligations. Each community in
which the theatre troupe was sche-
duled to play dealt with agents,
one of whom seems to have used
it already for expenses.

Barb Kenney assures patrons
who have bought tickets for "A
GIFT TO LAST" that they will be
refunded at the earliest possible
date. See next week’s Terrace
Review for further details.
